Default Colt 1911 A1 Overhaul

I know,it's been a while,even more so when it comes to
overhauled guns.

At first I thought the Colt 1911 could be improved with
a "simple" reskin,but after a closer look I figured some
small model-related changes could make it look even better.
Also,with spare time getting scarcer by the days and sorry
to say the mood not being at its best,there was no way I
would start working on that weapon everybody is asking me
to tinker with (you all know wich one I'm talking about,
that's still a "maybe" but at least it's not a nope).

From the hours I spent looking for informations and pics,
the NMRIH Colt 1911 seems to be a hightly customized
pistol and doesn't match with anything that's manufactured
in mass production:this caused my gun autism to start
looking for alternatives that would match the game settings
as much as possible,only to finally stick to the vanilla
gun...wich is what the overhauls are meant to be in the
first place,right?

The modified texture looks quite different than default one:
I utterly hate it,but I guess some people will want it back,
or at least slightly improved,I'll see if I can do something about it.


What do we have?
-model wise
.the smoothing of the slide has been reworked,as subtle
as it may look
.the tip of the barrel has been modeled inside the slide,
even thought it's barely visible
.the magazine has been made slightly longer,so the bullet
can now be seen inside the chamber on certain anims,if only
a little (the inside of the slide is a tad wider to help)
.some tweaks on barrel bushing,guide rod,and others areas
at the front to make the suicide_idle view look better

-texture wise
.the grips have been completely remade (god I hated the
old ones)
.the texture has been quite modified with the usual edits:
trying to get ride of fake lighting as possible and use
a baked map to try to add some general volume to the
diffuse (the normal map has also been modified accordingly)
.the default very dark with white parts ton has been changed
to some dark blue that seems to be a lot more common.
.peewee texture made
.new VGUI icon made by redjester,because

Well... icon is ass
May I drop you my version of the icon?

If for some reasons you wanted to keep the default color settings
there is a basic reskin of the vanilla texture,you can get it here:

For a change,this overhaul should be compatible with any
1911 reskins since there was little to no changes to
texture coordinates.The inner part of the barrel tip has its
own submodel.

Someone asked me "when is next overhaul" and I answered
2026 as a joke,but my lack of free time makes me believe
this may turn out to be the case sadly. We'll see what's
next in time.
